ATTENTION VETERAN BROTHERS SERIES NO: -37

 



CHANGE OF NAME AND DATE OF BIRTH OF SPOUSE AND CHILDREN

 

Of late, it has come to notice that  the Name and Date of birth of spouse and children  recorded in our service Record(ppo) does not match  with Official records like Matriculation certificate, Date of Birth certificate, Aadhar , PAN cards, Voters ID  & Pass port  etc..

This happening  has put  a great Hardship to the families  after the demise of veterans.

For Example:   Name in Matriculation certificate  - S.Parvathy   but in our Service record/ PPO , it is  PARVATHI.   See the difference   - Initial and  spelling.

As there is difference, the Banks are not switching over to Family pension.

Bank account is opened on the basis of Aadhar and PAN card etc.

Now, the family has to take steps  for correction of  Name by applying to Record Office  with Affidavit/ declaration  with all the available proofs to get a revised PPO which may take  about 6 months to ONE year . Till such time , the widow  will not get pension and face the financial hardship to run the family.

 

Our veteran brothers are sincerely requested to verify their  PPO immediately and confirm that  the Name and DOB  is same as per SSLC certificate, Aadhar and PAN cards .

If there is any difference, initial/spelling  etc, please take immediate step  for correction/ change  of name/ Date of birth by applying  through ZSB  to your Record Offices for getting a revised PPO .(Cda cir 535)  and as per  procedure of our Three services Advisory Instructions:

Also  confirm that your pension account is converted to JOINT ACCOUNT  with your wife  to avoid delay in switching over to family pension.
